Three promising graduates are still underachieving in their 30s.

They seemed to have it all - ambition, optimism and degrees from one of the country's top universities. The three friends were once "full of potential". Now they’re simply "might have beens". Self-employed and trapped in a London flat, they live off the crumbs offered them by richer friends.

Stars Richard E Grant, Amanda Root and Peter Capaldi.

We join the trio as a hideous antique statue and an Emma Thompson-obsessed theatre director combine to make life a little more difficult.

Comedy drama series written by Paul Shearer and Richard Turner.
